My A52 does this too.  Averaging a few times a week.  Disabled the SOS emergency option but that isn't it.  It seems to be dialing a variety of numbers 141112, 141999, 999, 911, 9999.

@James431: To troubleshoot the issue, please head to Settings > Safety and emergency > Emergency SOS, and either toggle the feature off (if available), or tap on 'Emergency number to call' and enter a '0' in place of any existing numbers. Let me know how you get on.

It doesn't help I have replaced the number to call with 0 and toggled Emergency SOS off again.  The from the unlock screen once you press the emergency call button the full list of available emergency number are shown to pick from hence the variety of numbers called.

This morning, by having my phone in my pocket, I have managed to call emergency services 3 times: 141999, 999 & 911. This is the second occasion this has happened, the first being on the 19th June call 1122 twice. I can't seem to find any way of removing the "emergency call" button from the swipe unlock screen.

I think I have found a solution. If it doesn't work, I will post back here. 
Settings
- Advanced Features
- Motions & Gestures
- Turn off "Double Tap to turn on screen"

It's not a final solution but it helps! Thanks! Hopefully they will update those silly call settings.

I wish you could disable it or it have another layer of protection before actually calling the service. I've accidentally called 999 3 times in 2 days, it's so stupid.

Only minor solution I've found is to turn off double tap to wake and lift to wake, seems to have done the trick so far.

I have turned off "Double Tap to turn on screen", my phone still pocket dialed a variety of emergency numbers whilst I was out walking.  Leading to a pair of police officers turning up at my door when I got back to check if I was okay.

It seems if you have an emergency contact set up that might make it better as they are more likely to be called given the way the screen is set up.  But my best solution so far is to buy a new case which physically covers the screen when it is in my pocket.  Tweeted Samsung but they are not going to reimburse the cost of the case.
